At least one educator at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has reported that Jewish students feared for their lives after Hamas supporters blocked entrances to campus buildings with calls for ethnic cleansing. Yet she has already resigned over unsatisfactory testimony from Kornbluth, who insisted that no one at her school used genocidal anti-Semitic language. She surrounded students holding Israeli flags.
One Jewish student said: daily signal that he is I am afraid About attending classes with “classmates and teachers who did nothing but demand my death because the university did nothing for me.”

At a time when Jewish and Israeli students, staff, and faculty were particularly vulnerable, MIT's broader community showed open hostility toward them instead of providing them with the support they needed. Like many other college campuses across the country, the institute clearly failed this test.
